Default Help with Coil

I'm trying to get the jeep to crank up and I'm having problems getting the coil to send power. There are 3 plugs going to the coil itself but one is missing. Is this some sort of diagnostic port? Also, there is a female prong attached to the coil with nothing plugged into it, is this supposed to be like that? The connectors that are there are the middle one with the single yellow wire and the one on the right with the yellow, green/tr, another yellow, and a black wire going to it.

Default coil

Did you check voltage going to the coil? If its there and you have a spark plug checker you can hook it up to one of the plugs and see if its sending a spark. Also if you ohm check you plugs they should read under 30K ohms if they are higher change them out.

P.S. Almost forgot you did check your fuses I'm assuming..........
